A lot to admire and appreciate — depth sadness and humor. A pick for sure and yet, conflicting. I think it is part of the point. Not meant to be academic or “impressive” but a recognition of how hard it is to human, flawed. Flawed, good and struggling to be good, struggling to make good. #tob2022 #tob2022longlist #natlbookaward #pieinlit #libraryhardcover #duetomorrow
